Kathy Griffin came under fire in 2017 after posting a photo of herself holding a replica of Donald Trump's severed head.

Griffin has never been shy about sharing disdain for President Trump, as in 2017, she shared a video of herself holding a mask that was made to look like his severed, b----- head.

After receiving major backlash, she deleted the photo and apologized. "Like many edgy works of artistic expression, the photo could be interpreted different ways. But Griffin never imagined that it could be misinterpreted as a threat of violence against Trump. That was never what she intended," her attorney stated at the time. "She has never threatened or committed an act of violence against anyone."

Despite her remorse, Griffin was dropped from CNN's New Year's Eve coverage and other sponsorships. She also had the remainder of her tour dates canceled and was investigated by the Secret Service.
